Rachel Bitecofer: What we found is 59% of voters said they would be less likely to vote for a state senate candidate who supports President Trump.
The Wason Center’s Rachel Bitecofer : And 54% said they would be more likely to vote that supports impeaching Trump.
Fishburne: Likely voters also give Democrats a 17-point advantage in enthusiasm on both the generic ballot and legislative control tests in their most stringent model.

Bitecofer says positions on gun control, minimum wage increase and the ERA are popular among voters, including independents and skew Democratic. The survey is based on 849 interviews of active, registered voters in Virginia October 1st through the 20th with a margin of error plus or minus 3.8 percent.
